ting the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors, which passed the House of
Delegates Jan. 20th by vote of So to 10.
There is no doubt of it's passage in the
Senate, says the Ronceverte News, but its
fate when submitted to a vote of the peo-
pie is very doubtful:
Resolred, by the Legislature Of West VT-
ginio, t,co-thirds of all the members elect
ed to each House agreeing thereto;
That the following be and the same is
proposed as an amendment to the Consti-
tuition of this State, to-wit: That Section
46 OF Article vi, of. said Constitution as it
now is, be stricken out and the following
be inserted in lieu thereof: Sec. As. The
manufacture sale and keeping for sale of
all Intoxicating liquors, drinks, mixtures
and preparations, except as hereinafter pro-
vided, are forever prohibited within this
State, and the Legislature shall without de-
lay provide, by appropriate legislation, for
the strict enforcement of this provision,
but the Legislature may provide by law for
the manufacture, sale and keeping for sale
of alcohol and preparations thereof for
scientific, mechanical and medicinal parpo-
ses, aud wine for sacramental purposes,
under sufficient penalties and securities to
ensure the due execution of such laws as
may be enacted under the section.

GHOST OF STONEWALL JACKSON.

A Strange Narrative from Lexington.
To the Editor Of The State:
send you a thrilling and true account
of ghost which has recently appeared at
the Virginia Military Institute.
On the night of the 20th, shortly after
~ o'clock, as the sentinel was walking his
lonely beat, his attention was attracted
through the sally port to the front of bar
racks by slight sound resembling the
rushing of leaves by gentle wind. Ia
stantly, between the two large forty-six-
pound siege pieces, there appeared soldier
dressed in Confederate uniform and
mounted on large gray horse; his sword
was drawn, his herse tightly refined up, and
TIVE white plumes floated gracefully above
his hat. The sentinel at first, almost para
Used with terror, had gazed upon the object
but an instant, when the horse was started
through the sally-port into the courtyard at
round trot crossing the sentinel's beat
making no audible sound, although he was
passing over a solid brick pavement. The
sentinel, true to his military principle; chal-
lenged with q loud voice, "Who goes
there?' The rider did not hsed the chal-
lsnge, bnt passed on at the same pace until
arriving at an abrupt, dangerous and i'm
pass2ble precipice III rear OF the barracks,
he vanished. The sentinel promptly called
his corporal, who informed the lieutenant
cf the guard, aud the officer of the day.
The guard was Immediately turned ont,
and though close and minute search was
instituted no trace of horse Or rider could
bs found. On the next night similar
phenomenon was witnessed by party of
cadets and citizens This time sentinel
was stationed in the centre of the sally-psrt
to await the reappearancs of the horse and
rider. At the same time as on the night
before, preceded by the same sound, the
horse and rider appeared and started
through the sally-port at great pace. The
sentinel commanded: "Halt! Who goes
theres" The horse approached nearer aud
nearer to the sentinel until within two feet
of the point of the bayonet, aud vanished
only to reappear just in rear of the sentinel;
then be passed ON in the direction he had
taken the preceding night, again disappear
ing at the edge of the preeipise. An old
veteran present recognized the grand and
imposing form of the rider to be mono other
than that OF Gen. Stonewall jackson. So
far no explanation can be given.

Origin Of Sunday Schools.

In reply to an inquiry as to the origin
and history of Sabbath schools, the Louis
vile Courier-Journal gives us the following
interesting historical facts explanatory of
the whole subject:
Gin 1899 Sunday school was established
at Paris by the Able John Baptiste de la
Sale, but after six years it was abandoned.
The Rev. Theophilus Lindsey established
Sunday school ia Yorkshire in 1868, and
Miss Ball Wycombe in 1869. But for the
conception Of that idea, out of which grew
the present Sunday schsel, we are indebted
to Robert Baikes, a printer of Gloucester.
His business led him to the lowest quarters
Of the town, where he was struck with the
degradation and misery of the ragged chill
dren at play on Sunday. He was told that
they had no occupation Oh that day, aud
spent their time in riot. gambling and cars
ing. To check this proclamation of the
Lords day, as well as to help the poor chill
dren out of their sloughs, he mploy ed two
women to instruct as many children as he
should send them at shilling each. There
were members who gladly attended, and,
in short while, the improvement in man.
ners and morals was very noticeable. The
schools mere favorably noticed in the
Gloucester newspapers, and attracted much
attention. Schools formed on the same
plan sprang up every where, and society,
under high patronage, was formed in Lon
don. in 1885, for the establishment and sup
port of Sunday schools throughout the
Kingdom Of Great Britain. In fourteen
years this society had expended $4,000 in
payment of teachers. Queen Charlotte
gave Mr.. Baikes an audience and expressed
her high approval of his plan. 1t is not
known who conceived the thought of gratr-
itous teaching. 1t probably suggested it
self, by the necessities of the case, to many
minds at once. Certainly it was the means
of starting Sunday schools on new career
of success. A higher class of teachers offer
ed their services, handsome buildings were
erected, and that system was organized
which has covered the land with schools
and nodded the character of some of the
wisest and best of the world.

1t is noted as curious coincidence that
"the daughter Of General Logan married q
MIR. Tucker, while the daughter of Repre-
sentative Randolph Tacker married u Mr..
Logan. Each couple have son. The
name of one is Tucker Logan, and the other
is Logan Tucker.

February 2nd-'' Ground-Heg Day."

In former years this subject has afforded
Us great deal of amusement. This time
we shall take serious view of the matter,
for the latter halves of our winters are Just

people to superstitious reverence, and 9TH

popularity. Our faith-that is what little
